Missing Child: Arlington Teen Eldy Karolina Deras-Martinez Has Been Missing Since July 25

Eldy Karolina Deras-Martinez, now 16, has been missing from Arlington, Texas, since July 25, 2026. Her case deserves continued attention, even as weeks and months pass.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Somewhere, there may be someone who recognizes Eldy Karolina Deras-Martinez. Someone who has seen her, spoken with her or knows something that could help investigators determine where she is.

That possibility is why her name deserves to remain visible.

Eldy has been missing from Arlington, Texas, since July 25, 2026. Her case appears in records maintained by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), which lists her current age as 16.

Nearly three months have passed since she went missing.

The passage of time does not make a missing child any less important. It makes the continued circulation of accurate information especially valuable.

A Name Worth Remembering

Eldy is more than a photograph or an entry in a missing-person database. She is a young person whose safety matters.

The publicly available case information does not establish what happened to her, where she may have gone or the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. Those unanswered questions should not become invitations for speculation.

What the record provides is identifying information and a way for people to help.

Keeping Eldy’s Name Visible

For a missing child, public awareness should not depend on whether a case is new enough to attract widespread attention.

Sharing Eldy’s authenticated photograph and official missing-child information may help those details reach someone who recognizes her.

The Texas Public Record asks readers to approach her case with compassion, respect for her privacy and care for the accuracy of what they share.

No family should have to compete for public attention when a child is missing.
